A group of students in a high school in Garden City, Michigan, pitched in and surprised a janitor in their school for Christmas by purchasing a new pair of work boots for him.

Students stopped Brian Junk in the corridor to give him his surprise and one of them told him “You always go above and beyond for us.” Junk was left speechless, and told the students their kindness would reduce him to tears. The student who captured this video of the moment, Kenna Hermanson, said Junk is the “sweetest” and is “always putting a smile on everyone’s faces during school.”
